Assigning Drive Letters
Dear Dean,
Some computer BIOS packages allow you to reassign drive letters. I’m not familiar with BIOS on your particular computer, and this software is different for each motherboard. Thus, it comes in hundreds of flavors these days. So, You’ll need to check that out and see if such a function exists in yours.
Barring that, in order to get the system to assign letter D to your local drive, you can reconfigure the jumper settings on the disk drive you repartitioned, making sure you put it as a SLAVE drive in the primary IDE channel, while the drive you want to be drive C is set up as the MASTER in the same IDE channel. This might mean moving the data connectors around for some of your other devices in the computer to the secondary IDE channel. The cables for each IDE channel are typically marked on the motherboard as PRI and SEC IDE. Unless you feel really confident about doing this, I’d suggest that you take the system to a computer technician. They could probably set it up for you so that your newly formatted drive becomes drive D.
